History

Established in 2012.

My wife and I as athletes, personal trainers and avid runners wanted to open up a retail store/​fitness studio where we could offer a true destination store to the community.

We feel we have a store that offers a little bit of something for everyone from yoga to running; young to old; athlete to fitness enthusiast.
